notes: >-
  Meta's "Prometheus" AI supercluster at the New Albany campus. capacity_mw
  1000 from NBC4i's "~1 GW" (approximate; basis unspecified). A separate DCD
  signal reports a 200 MW on-site gas power plant approved to serve the site —
  that is generation capacity, not IT load, so it is NOT resolved into
  capacity_mw and is recorded here for context only. land_acres 447 from
  "more than 447 acres" (a floor, not exact). operational_date reflects
  "first cluster in service September 2025"; status is under construction /
  partially operational with expansion continuing through 2026.
